blood (2 chambers receive blood, 2 chambers pump
blood)

Homeostasis

Regulation of internal body conditions

As the body’s physical and chemical
environment changes there are two
methods of response

1.

Negative Feedback Loop

2.

Positive Feedback Loop

40

media

Negative Feedback

Loop

• Interdependent system

that reverses the
direction of change

• Balancing feedback

loop

• Self-regulatory cycle
• Data model:

• Interdependent system

that increases the
direction of change

• Reinforcing feedback

loop

• Vicious cycle and

virtuous

• Data model:

Positive Feedback

Loop

Homeostasis Mechanism

• Stimulus
• Receptors
• Control center (set point)
• Effectors (muscles or glands)
• Response

1.Negative feedback

• Response reverses

the direction of
change.
– This maintains

homeostasis

– Examples?

50

media

Experiment in homeostasis

1) Design and test a controlled hypothesis (or prediction)

of the homeostasis of a person’s heart rate.

2) Be sure to have:

• a control group and experimental group
• Verify your experimental method and independent

variable and dependent variable with Mr. Darkow before
you start your experiment.

• Data from at least 3 different subjects.
3) Graph your data and state your conclusion.

Homework

loop

2. Positive feedback

• If a change occurs in

a variable, the
response is to
change that variable
even more in the
same direction.
– This has a

de-stabilizing effect,
so it does not result in
homeostasis.

– Examples?

Assignment

1. Draw a diagram of a negative feedback loop that

takes place in human physiology (not body
temperature or heart rate). Graph one of the
variables over time.

2. Draw a diagram of a negative feedback loop that

takes place in society (not thermostat). Graph one
of the variables over time.

3. Draw a diagram of a positive feedback loop that

takes place in human physiology (not childbirth).
Graph one of the variables over time.

4. Draw a diagram of a positive feedback loop that

takes place in society (not waking up in the
morning). Graph one of the variables over time.
